Normal Width of Cranial Sutures in the Neonate and Infant

A material of 107 normal skull films have been used to determine the normal range of the cranial sutures in the age group 0 to 45 days of age. Assessment is based on the lateral view and includes evaluation of both coronal and lambdoid sutures as well as the degree of V-shape of the coronal sutures. Values obtained are easily classified as normal, borderline or pathologic by use of a simple diagram.
